Jeremy Lin has flare for the dramatics as he hit a three with half second left as the Knicks won six straight games as they won 90-87 after Tyson Chandler ripped a board down with 20.8 seconds and the ball got sent out to Lin who watched the clock go down until it was the last second and made sure that it was either game over or it was heading to overtime. Jeremy Lin finished hot as he had 12 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter as the Knicks outscored the Raptors 24-12 in the fourth quarter and it started with a 10-3 run to cut the lead from 75-66 to 78-76 but Lin did not start well as he had 9 points but 6 assists to 5 turnovers as the Knicks had 11 turnovers which lead to 21 points.
The Raptors played hard for the first three quarters of the game as they shot 63% in the first quarter while the D kept the Knicks down shooting 43% and the Raptors lead 28-21 and Calderon had 12 points and 2 assists in the quarter. The Raptors lead 47-36 @ halftime and they kept the Knicks at an arms length as Jeremy Lin put up 6 points and 4 assists and the Knicks had only 2 turnovers in the third quarter and the Raptors were lead by Calderon who had 13 points and 4 assists in the quarter and the Raptors had 40 points in the paint through the first three quarters but the Raps had 7 fourth quarter turnovers after only 11 through the first three quarters.
The Raptors were lead by Jose Calderon with 25 points, 9 assists, and 7 boards while Amir Johnson had 5 blocked shots as the Raptors had 11 as a team to go with 10 points. Kleiza had his first double-double in 14 month as he had 15 points and 11 boards and DeRozan had 14 points and got to the line 4 times and made all of them but still lead the team with 6 of the teams 18 turnovers while Barbosa had 13 points as well.
In the end the Knicks D showed up in the fourth and the Raps did not really have an answer for it
